Since I haven’t really done a lot of recaps and have been pulling fakeouts with my progress pics (for those of you who want to see them, email me at peasandthankyou@hotmail.com), besides the obvious increase in protein and reduction in sugar, I thought I would show you why I think this program has made such a difference in my physique.

That is my sweaty tank top after working out for just 20 minutes this morning.  I am NOT a sweater (much more of a poncho).  Groan.  I used to play two hour basketball games, run ten miles at a time, park it in the sauna until they kicked me out and I wouldn’t even get misty.  Yet when I force myself to push my body to the limit for just 20 minutes, I am done.  I can do anything for 20 minutes, and so can you.

Workout: HIIT (speed ranging from 6.5-9)

  • Meal 1: Pumpkin Protein Bran Blend (1 scoop Sun Warrior protein, 1/4 c. oat bran, 1/4 c. wheat bran, 1/4 c. pumpkin, cinnamon, stevia, almond milk and almond butter)

  • Meal 3: 1/2 a Clif Mojo Bar on the way to the dentist
  • Meal 4: Teiryaki Tofu atop spinach, broccoli, zucchini, carrots, peppers and almonds

  • Meal 5: Protein Rocky Road Ice Cream (1 serving silken tofu, 1/4 c. almonds, 1 T. Nutribiotic Rice Protein 2 T. cocoa powder, stevia, ice, xanthan gum and 2 T. TruWhip)

I had a really busy day today and thus my meals weren’t textbook.  I didn’t get an afternoon snack because I took the girls shopping and hadn’t planned ahead.  If I had, I would have at least brought sedatives.  Yeee.
